A propos du livre

À propos de l'auteur

Lew Wallace (1827-1905), born Lewis Wallace, was an American novelist, lawyer, Union general, politician, diplomat, and one of the most famous literary figures of nineteenth-century America. Born in Indiana, Wallace served in the Mexican-American War and later became a major general in the Union Army during the Civil War. After the war, he held public offices, served as governor of the New Mexico Territory, and was appointed U.S. minister to the Ottoman Empire. His varied career gave him experience in military life, law, politics, diplomacy, and public affairs, all of which helped shape the scale and authority of his fiction.Wallace is remembered above all for Ben-Hur: A Tale of the Christ, first published in 1880. The novel became a massive bestseller and one of the most influential works of Christian historical fiction, inspiring stage productions and multiple film adaptations. Its mixture of ancient-world spectacle, personal revenge, religious awakening, Roman imperial power, and the life of Christ gave it a broad appeal that reached far beyond ordinary adventure fiction. For readers of biblical fiction, classic American novels, Christian literature, historical adventure, and nineteenth-century popular fiction, Wallace remains inseparable from the enduring power of Ben-Hur.
